Beauty Uses of Baking Soda....






I'm sure the most common use of Baking soda is baking a cake or something in the bakery line,But I never enter my Kitchen unless when My mum cooked some food,so as you may know Baking soda is an amazing powder of weak acid and alkali which can be used apart from baking purposes,I buy the "Bicarbonate powder" for 99p in Tesco for 200g which is quite efficient.Its one of my essential as a "beauty product" and here is a list of things you could use this for... one of the main use apart from baking is using this as a cleaning product for limescale and tiles and also using this as a powder for your washing up to get rid of bad odors.



  1. Remove buildup. Mix a small palm-full of baking soda to your shampoo to remove buildup from conditioners, mousses and hairsprays. 
  2. Dry shampoo. No time for a shampoo? Baking soda can be used as a dry shampoo when your hair is oily. Sprinkle some on your hair, comb through then quickly fluff your hair with a blow dryer.   
  3. Combs and brushes. Remove product and oil buildup by soaking your utensils in a bowl of warm water with about 3 tablespoons of baking soda.    
  4. Facial Exfoliate. In the palm of your hand, mix some baking soda with your facial cleanser to make a gentle exfoliate. Use circular motions to apply gently then rinse as usual for very soft skin.    
  5. Rough skin. This also works for the rough skin on elbows and feet. Make a thick paste with baking soda and water (about 3 parts baking soda to one part water) and scrub away.     
  6. Shaving. A solution of 1 tablespoon baking soda in a cup of water works as a pre-shave product of aftershave rinse for men with sensitive skin 
  7.  tooth polish and whitener. Baking soda toothpastes have been long-time shelf staples for a reason. The baking soda works to freshen breathe and whiten and polish teeth. Dip a damp toothbrush in baking soda and brush away. My personal twist, dip a toothbrush with toothpaste in baking soda for mouth cleaning times two.  
  8. Toothbrush. Soak your tooth brush in a mixture of water and baking soda and let it soak overnight. 
  9.  Soft cuticles. Scrubbing your nails or toenails with a nailbrush (or old toothbrush) dipped in baking soda will soften and gently exfoliate cuticles.    
  10. Body Odor:Use a handful of powder and apply on your armpits to remove any body odor and absorb any sweat. 
  11.  Acne Treatment.Baking soda and apple cider applied to areas with acne can dry them out and even used as a body scrub   
  12. Spot treatment,Baking soda mixed with water applied of spots and left until dry.
  13. Baking soda and warm water and apply all over your feet to give a good moisturise
